Mexican food, we all love it. My middle son and I love a really hot chilli but we do a lot of chillis, enchiladas and fajitas for the whole family. This is a twist on both burritos and fajitas. The best bit is you can eat them in three different ways, some messier…

Recipe – Italian Arancini with Arrabbiata Sauce
Balls! Italian balls at that. Arancini, if you’ve never had them, are deep fried rice balls. They taste far better than they sound in English. They are a real faff to make yourself but are quite an adventure, and really are worth it in the end as fresh Arancini are one of my favourite Italian…
Recipe – Catalan Chicken and Chorizo Stew
At time of writing, global travel is being restricted and we’re all staying home more. So we need to bring a bit of Mediterranean warmth to our food. This is a wonderful stew, full of colour and flavour, inspired by fantastic pot stews I’d had on trips to Barcelona. For 4-6 people you will need:…

I do love the chilli pepper. So many different types with so many different flavours and heat intensities. My crop this year hasn’t been great – the heat has kept away the bees that pollenate the flowers. But I did have a good crop from a Tornado Chilli plant so thought I’d turn them into…
Recipe – BBQ Beef Burgers – Chilli and Cheese, Chorizo
When the sun finally comes out in the spring, it’s time to get the BBQ out, realise you didn’t clean it at the end of last summer, and after faffing about cleaning it, look forward to great food with friends and family. I use a base recipe for my own beef burgers, which you can…
Recipe – Slow Cooked Chilli (Party Sized)
We love hosting a party in our house and I always do the cooking (some guests demand it!). Finding something that pleases most people but is easy to put on and doesn’t spoil your own fun can be tricky. My chilli always goes down well and it’s slow cooked so you can do the prep…
